A LITTLE BIT OF AUSTRALIANA Australia’s a great place to live, rich in natural beauty and with a relaxed lifestyle. But there are some things about it that may surprise you. From power prices to pink lakes, here are some intriguing facts about our island home.
The highest electricity prices in world According to an independent energy economist, the price of electricity in South Australia became the most expensive in the world on July 1, 2017. The record was previously held by Denmark. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull recently summoned energy retailers to Canberra to work on ways to lower Australia’s escalating power costs.
Western Australia’s pink lake Lake Hillier is a pink-coloured lake on Middle Island, the largest of the islands that make up the Recherche Archipelago, Western Australia. The lake spans only about 600 metres but its rose pink colour is unmistakable. The pigment is produced by micro-organisms adapted to the salt solution.
Australia’s most expensive home According to homesales.com.au, ‘Elaine’ in Sydney’s Point Piper became Australia’s most expensive home when it was sold to IT entrepreneur Scott Farquhar for $75 million. The house had belonged to the Fairfax publishing family for 126 years.

The first all-Australian car – and the last! In 1948, Holden manufactured the first all-Australian made motor vehicle, the FX, an economical family sedan. Holden began life in 1856 as a saddle-making company in Adelaide, before moving on to making car upholstery. But the end is nigh‌ Holden built its last engine, a V6, in November last year, and announced plans to shut down operations in October after nearly seven decades.
PENS: GETTING IT WRITE While most of us tap away on keyboards, there are times when we have to resort to the ancient art of penmanship. Just like your mobile phone, your choice of pen is a reflection of how you approach matters. Are you the pragmatic, ‘Any pen will do’ type? Or do you need to have your trusty Parker in hand before you feel inspired?
Montblanc Meisterstück No. 149 A favourite pen of the rich and powerful, the Meisterstück No. 149 is a black, cigar-shaped pen from this famous German manufacturer. Used by President Obama and the Queen, it’s the power pen to beat all power pens. RRP $1,040
Waterman Carene Black Sea Chrome Trim A more elegant, streamlined shape than the Meisterstück, this pen from Waterman sits in the hand like a shiny missile. There’s no excessive styling or embellishment to corrupt its pure lines – it’s the most understated status symbol of them all. For the confidently quiet achiever. RRP $210 - $400
Parker Duofold Classic With its high-quality resin finish in red, black or ivory, its solid gold nib and beautiful balance, the Duofold has been in production since 1921. It comes as a fountain pen, a ballpoint or a roller ball depending on your taste. An art deco artefact from the Roaring Twenties, this is a favourite of artisans and architects who know style when they see it. RRP $400 - $600
Bic Finepoint Ballpen Well, why not? You can buy a dozen of them for the price of a glass of wine. An icon of disposability, these pens are the choice of pragmatists everywhere. Loan this pen with impunity to your office colleagues, because when they ‘forget’ to return it, there’s plenty more where it came from! RRP Box of 12: $6.95
ARE DRIVERLESS VEHICLES CLOSER TO BECOMING A REALITY THAN WE THINK?
Some analysts believe it will be at least a decade before self-driving cars are capable of navigating complex urban environments. There are still a few engineering and ethical roadblocks to overcome. While engine management and cruise control technologies are seemingly well advanced, the legal and ethical ramifications of handing total control to a computer have not been fully resolved. Here are some of the ways self-driving cars could change the world. 1. Who needs to own a car anyway?
4. Put the squeeze on costs
Autonomous vehicles could change attitudes towards personal transport. As long as you can get from point to point for a reasonable cost, why bother to purchase an expensive piece of automotive engineering?
Fuel and maintenance costs can be managed more cost-effectively using the IT embedded in autonomous vehicles. The insurance and automotive repair industries will potentially shrink as cars become safer.
2. A different kind of city
5. Is the company car park still a perk?
Real estate will be freed up when there’s no longer the need to accommodate vast numbers of private cars. Autonomous vehicles that enable more efficient road use could reduce traffic congestion and lead to outlying districts gaining in popularity.
Employee packages may change as the rationale for providing car parks and other vehicle-associated benefits disappear. Will gyms, nutrition and wellness programmes become more important in attracting top performers?
3. A safer world?
6. The productivity dividend
Nearly 1.3 million people die around the world in traffic accidents every year1 with many others seriously injured. Since human error is at fault 90 percent of the time, it’s clear that people will face fewer risks on the road. That’s great news for commuters, mobile workers and the businesses that employ them
When staff no longer need to battle through traffic each morning they’ll arrive at work ready to fire on all cylinders. Some may take the opportunity to use their travel time for focusing on work tasks or developing new skills.

YOUR TYRES AND HOW TO CARE FOR THEM Think about this. Your tyres are the only contact patch between you and the road, and is the key component of your car that influences safety, comfort and performance. Replacement tyres for your car don't come cheap‌ and with so many brands of tyres available to the consumer at vastly varying prices, how do we know what tyre to choose. There are many factors to consider - price, brand, tread pattern, noise levels created, wet grip qualities. Or is it as simple as purchasing the same tyres that came with car as original equipment? It is important to first determine the right tyre for your car. There are generally four influences worth considering in a purchase decision for tyres. Let's take a look: 1) Original Equipment: OE, as it is commonly termed refers to the tyres that came originally with your car. Some brand loyal consumers will simply replace tyres with the OE product. In some cases, vehicle manufacturers will have tyres specifically crafted to suit the specifications of the car to enhance performance. Under a FleetPartners Novated Lease, we have agreements with established tyre fitment retailers to ensure you are given the best advice.
2) Tyre size: The size of a tyre can always be found on the sidewall of the tyre. Amongst a whole raft of codes, dates, brand and tread pattern, the tyre size will be clearly imprinted into the tyre. 3) Climate: The weather is probably the most crucial to a buying decision for a tyre as the type of climate will determine vehicle performance. For example, if you predominantly drive in wet conditions, you should seek out a tyre with good wet braking capability and aggressive tread blocks. Wet conditions also require tyres that can clear and escape water between the road and the contact patch of your tyres. It is important to provide your tyre retailer with the climate in your normal driving conditions. 4) Usage: On road, off road, driving on long flat highways, driving in winding streets, etc., all play a role in determining what tyre to drive on. Be sure to discuss with your tyre retailer on benefits such as comfort, silence and vibrations, good wet braking and longevity as considerations for your next replacement tyre purchase.
When to replace tyres? As with the other components of your car, general wear and tear is impacted upon by the weather, driving conditions and also the way you drive. There is no specific kilometre life span of a tyre - although you will hear the discussions of 'replace your tyres at 60,000 kilometres' or 'mine has clocked up 90,000 clicks with no troubles'. So, when is the best time to replace tyres? It is imperative to regularly check your tyres for irregular wear, bruising, damage to tread pattern and sidewall. In Australia, the minimum amount of tread for passenger car tyres is 1.6mm (with most passenger car tyres starting out with 8-9mm of tread). It is best to seek recommendation from your local tyre retailer on when best to replace your tyres. They are best equipped to provide advice on tyre replacement.
How best to care for your tyres There are many ways to look after and preserve your tyres throughout the life of their work. Here's how. Cleaning your tyres It is important to regularly clean your tyres, no matter the conditions your rubber faces day to day. Remove trapped stones and debris from tread grooves and clean mud from your sidewall. Doing this will increase the life of your tyre and reduce the chances of weathering of the compound and cracking of the tread.
Wheel balancing and aligning Tyres and wheels will cause vibration and reduce comfort and performance if not balanced. To ensure a smooth drive and maximise comfort, it is fundamental to have your tyres balanced every time your vehicle is serviced - generally once every six months. FleetPartners OneCall service is a convenient vehicle servicing system available for drivers with a FleetPartners Novated Lease. OneCall can take care of all driver related tyre queries and support.
Rotating your tyres
Is filling tyres with nitrogen beneficial?
Your tyres will wear differently to the next driver's on the road. Factors such as weather, road conditions, driver behaviour and load will impact this. It is advisable to rotate your tyres every 5,000km's to maximise the life of your rubber.
Nitrogen inflation has typically been used in aircrafts, racing cars and industrial vehicles. There are definite benefits in filling your car with nitrogen - and good news is, most tyre retailers will offer the service.
Your tyre pressure Check your tyre pressure at least once a month. Well maintained tyre pressure is essential to enhance the life of the tread of tyre and overall performance of your car. Remember to always check your pressures when the tyres are cold, and refer to your vehicle placard for recommended tyre pressures.
The key benefits to nitrogen filled tyres vs compressed air are less tyre pressure checks for you and a more stable tyre pressure, increased safety in all weather conditions with the knock on effect being increased fuel economy and of course, increased safety. If you follow these quick and easy checks and processes, you will get a longer and safer life out of your rubber.
FLEETPARTNERS STAFF MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY FleetPartners volunteers headed out to Broadmeadows Women’s Community House for a day of gardening last month as part of the company’s corporate partnership volunteer program. At FleetPartners, we have an active community partner program, especially in the not-for-profit sector. This corporate partnership volunteer program is an ongoing, hands-on commitment between FleetPartners and its clients. The program partners many community service organisations around Australia. Anglicare Victoria has been a partner since 2010, with FleetPartners donating a 12-seater bus to its Broadmeadows Women’s Community House two years ago. FleetPartners has also donated $35,000 to support Anglicare Victoria’s programs across the state.
A group of volunteers from FleetPartners recently helped install garden beds at the Broadmeadows House, led by FleetPartners’ Not-For-Profit Account Manager, Nick Vandeligt. It was an opportunity to support our partnership with Anglicare and to connect the workforce with the community. Mr Vandeligt said the relationship between FleetPartners and Anglicare Victoria is more than just a business relationship. “It’s more of a partnership – that’s what we try to achieve when working with our customers.” Anglicare Victoria’s Nijole Lucinskaite said FleetPartners volunteers were making a positive impact on women’s lives through their volunteer work. A couple of weeks after the beds were established, FleetPartners volunteers returned to witness the first planting. Through its ongoing outreach into the community, FleetPartners’ corporate partnership volunteer program is trying to set a new benchmark for the industry.
Mazda CX-9 Sporty and Refined Although small and medium SUV sales are surging in Australia, large SUVs are still very much hot property. As a result the 2016 Mazda CX-9 has to be just right. The CX-9 has always been primarily targeted at the American market, and the new model is no exception. It rides on an all-new platform between 90-130kg lighter in weight, a downsized and turbocharged engine promising markedly improved average economy of 8.4L/100km (FWD) and
Car Review 8.8L/100km (AWD). Mazda claims this makes it the most economical non-diesel large SUV in the class, with features like stop-start to help it achieve this. With less power (170kW) but far more torque across a broader rev-range (420Nm at 2,000rpm) than the V6 it replaces, the new 2.5-litre SkyActiv turbo motor emphasises low-end flexibility and effortlessness. It also helps to provide two tonnes of boat-pulling ability. So how does all this work in the real world? And where does it rank in the field?
The Specs • Engine: 2.5-litre turbo four-cylinder
• Fuel capacity/Type: 74L/91 RON
• Output: 170kW @ 5000rpm / 420Nm @ 2000rpm
• Power efficiency: 19.3kW:L/100km
• Transmission: Six-speed auto
• 0-60km/h: 3.55 seconds*
• Drive type: All-wheel drive
• 0-100km/h: 7.69 seconds*
• Wheels: F: 18 x8.0, 255/60 R: 18x8.0, 255/60
• 100-0km/h braking: 3.38 seconds at 45.85 metres*
• ANCAP: Five stars (scored 35.87 out of 37)
• Decibel at idle: 37*
• Tare weight: 1865kg
• Peak decibel at 60-100km/h: 81*
• Official fuel economy: 8.8L/100km
• From $340 per week for a 3 year fully maintained novated lease*
• Economy during test: 11L/100km
The Specs There are four model grades, from front-wheel drive Sport to Sport all-wheel drive version. All CX-9 variants feature seven seats across the board, plus a five-star ANCAP rating. These include blind-spot alert, city autonomous braking front and rear. Other standard items include 18-inch alloys, LED lights and Mazda’s brilliant MZD Connect infotainment system including satellite navigation. Moving up to the Touring, adds 20-inch wheels, six-way power front seats, heated leather seats and lumbar support, power tailgate and 8.0-inch infotainment screen. The GT has its 20-inch rims, smart key, remote tailgate, front parking sensors, HUD, DAB+ radio, while the flagship Azami for two grand extra gives you the iACTIVSENSE package which includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane assist, active beams. AWD sets you back an extra $4000 in all variants, from the default front-wheel drive setup. *Figures as tested by Performance Drive on the day. Factory claims may be different.
The Package The design is very sporty and this is the theme Mazda has carried throughout the vehicle. In a sea of appliances, the CX-9 stands out as looking premium and desirable. The narrow headlights and character lines in particular do wonders for the style and presence. Inside there’s a hint of a Porsche Macan-esque aura about it. The transmission tunnel sits high, where the infotainment and audio controls sit, but it is rather wide. It would be nice to see space under the black panel for legs to fit under. The instrument binnacle is straight out of the MX-5. This looks great and is easy to read but a digital speedo would be welcome. The rest of the cabin feels contemporary and fresh, with easy-to-operate climate control and navigation, and entertainment that can be adjusted on the go with the MZD rotary knob. As we’ve said in other Mazda reviews, this is one of the best we’ve seen in an affordable car. Pairing a phone and inputting a destination are possible on the move, and the navigation system is faultless. A racy three-spoke steering wheel with audio and cruise switches is elegant in its simplicity and user-friendliness. Black leather seats feel sporty, hard wearing, and comfortable. All in all, this is a very user-friendly, premium and sporty-feeling environment. In terms of accommodation, the first two rows are well up to the task of comfortable touring for large adults. The third row is easy enough to access, but headroom is encroached upon by the sloping roofline, meaning six-footers won’t like long journeys,
but an MPV is still the best way to cart three rows of adults in comfort anyhow. The large doors are rather heavy and long, so one must be mindful in car parks. Boot space is generous at 810L with the third row stowed flat, or 230L with it in place. Underneath sits the spare tyre, albeit steel in both GSX and Limited spec. Mazda claims the CX-9 ushers in a new era of quiet Mazdas, with an emphasis on refinement aiming to combat the notion that Mazdas aren’t up to class standards in this area. Many layers of sound deadening have been added, and have worked a treat. The cabin is isolated at all times from wind noise, engine noise, A-pillar roar and tyre noise. It feels smooth and the suspension is firm but forgiving on all but the harshest of expansion joints. Visibility is great. Combined with the immediate torque curve the CX-9 is quite the gap-filler in dense traffic. This also assists in parking, though the absence of front parking sensors in the GSX is a letdown. Steering is only marginally heavier than a (now defunct) Ford Territory, so it scores high marks here. The Drive The engine is responsive and effortless at low revs, even if it doesn’t really have the top-end sparkle of a V6. Sport mode pipes some induction roar through the cabin but it is never scintillating. Still, it is enjoyably rapid most of the time, with 0-100km/h stopping our clock in 7.69 seconds.
Lateral grip and weight transfer is well contained, with the steering precise, communicative and well weighted to tie chicanes together. Oddly enough, we did experience some tugging at the wheel under heavy throttle, making us double check for the AWD badge. In terms of the question whether the CX-9 AWD lives up to expectations of economy, not really. Although the new engine is responsive and does save fuel by switching off at traffic lights, and offers good low-down torque, we saw figures around the 11.0L/100km overall, climbing with a heavy foot. Cruising will see an immediate drop into the low 8s, which is great, but ultimately a diesel would make far more sense, if only Mazda could make a business case for a SKYACTIV-D-powered variant. It’s worth nothing the front-wheel option offers a 0.4L/100km saving on the official combined cycle, likely translating to a similar saving in the real world from this AWD model.
The Pros • Easy to park, standard rear camera • MZD Connect system, sat-nav standard • Sporty aesthetic inside and out • Good noise suppression and refinement • Comfortable for long journeys (first two rows) • Most fun to drive in class • Responsive engine, slightly better economy than other petrols
The Cons • Heavy, long doors
The verdict The second-gen CX-9 has been developed with sportiness at its core from the ground up, but also to be extremely comfortable, quiet and refined. It succeeds admirably on all of those fronts, making it the sportiest and most engaging contender in its class we think. Heavy doors, compromised headroom in the third row and not quite diesel economy are the only blots on an otherwise stellar report card. Some rivals have more equipment for this money, some have more rear seating room (Highlander), and a diesel Kia Sorento or Hyundai Santa Fe will save some shrapnel at the fuel pumps. However none of those SUVs feels as aspirational or engaging as the new CX-9 and they all reek of necessity with precious little sense of occasion.
• Third row headroom compromised by sloping roof-line • N ot quite as fuel efficient as diesel-engined competitors • Legroom could be freed up from under the centre stack • Torque steer, even with AWD

Car Review
Isuzu D-Max More torque, less fuel The Isuzu D-Max has come in for a pretty significant update, including an engine overhaul, more technology and a revised design. Chief among the update, which applies in the form of the MY17 D-Max is a vastly improved and enhanced diesel engine. We’ll go into deeper detail below, but essentially the 3.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder has been enhanced with various all-new components including a diesel particulate diffuser (also known as filter) and a new turbo, all in the name of helping it pass Euro 5 emissions standards. There’s also a new six-speed manual transmission on offer and a six-speed auto. From $265 per week for a 3 year fully maintained novated lease*.
The Package
The Drive
Most of the interior is carried over from the outgoing models. Those looking for a robust and rugged setting will feel right at home in the D-Max, with lots of hard-wearing plastic for the dash and door trims. There are also big buttons and switchgear, four cup holders and two bottle holders in the front to slake travellers’ thirsts.
There’s no change no change to the suspension. This leaves the D-Max with independent front suspension and a live axle rear end with leaf springs for the heavy-duty part of the job. The ride is a little jittery but acceptable, especially for the ute segment. We must remember the D-Max is certified at 3,500kg towing capacity, while payload ranges from 924kg to 1214kg, depending on the cab and tray style.
To give the cabin personality and modern character, Isuzu has fitted a touch-screen interface for the first time . Most other utes in the segment already have a touch-screen of some description, so this is a welcome addition to the D-Max. Operation and functionality of the touch-screen itself reminds us of the old Toyota system, with a line-up of menu options down the left side. Those with big fingers won’t be as frustrated though, as the in-screen buttons are a bit bigger than those in the fiddly Toyota system. For the upper variants there’s a more comprehensive screen with in-built apps and satellite navigation as standard. A rear-view camera is also standard on all models. Seating space and comfort is pretty good in the D-Max, with decent legroom even in the rear of the dual-cab models.
Steering the D-Max down mountain road, we found it pretty solid and surefooted. The steering was a little on the heavy side in the slower speed stuff (like parking), but that may be influenced by the fact that the Isuzu team had the tyres at 28psi to suit the off-road sections. So, what about that engine? Well, Isuzu has fitted a variable geometry turbocharger, new pistons, new injectors, a large exhaust gas recirculation cooler, ceramic glow plugs, and a diesel particulate filter mounted next to the engine. A gauge in the instrument cluster shows the status of the filter. It is recommended that owners go for a decent drive about once a week to allow the filter system to operate properly, as it likes higher engine temps.
As a result of the revisions power remains at 130kW at 3600rpm, but torque is increased from 380Nm to 430Nm. Torque is also spread from 2,000-2,200rpm, instead of 1,800-2,800rpm. Isuzu says that around 380Nm is now available from about 1,750rpm. Paired with the new six-speed manual and auto, the engine offers noticeably more grunt, a decent tweak in refinement, and is a touch quieter than the previous unit. Traditional buyers will be happy that Isuzu has stuck with a 3.0-litre capacity instead of going with the new overseas-only 1.9-litre, despite not providing the economy of such engine. These larger capacity engines are becoming a rare breed, but they are the preferred choice for those towing and carrying heavy loads. The sheer compression of moving bigger pistons helps when making descents as you get effective engine braking. The transmissions do help deliver an improvement in economy, with the official average improved by around five per cent. In sixth gear with the six-speed auto, 100km/h only requires about 1,650rpm. With the manual you need only spin the engine to around 1,750rpm in sixth. With such a long sixth gear and low revs, there’s the potential for big fuel economy benefits with plenty of highway driving. During our day-long drive we saw figures of around 9.5L/100km to about 10.5L/100km, but of course this was in varied conditions and in various vehicles. As for the off-road performance, the D-Max 4×4 models continue to present excellent ground clearance (up to 230mm on upper variants), and decent approach and departure angles. A water wading depth of 600mm is about as much as you could possibly need, and there is an optional snorkel available as a genuine accessory. About our only complaint is the fact Isuzu is refusing to fit a limited-slip differential (or locking diff) for the rear axle. Isuzu says the traction control system is able to provide similar benefits, but it just doesn’t. Off-road enthusiasts will find it a little frustrating getting through tougher conditions, waiting for the traction control to step in and eventually help with progress.
The verdict The new D-Max continues to be one of the most trustworthy packages around. A tried and proved diesel is now more economical and supplies more torque. It’s also quieter and more refined, while the new transmissions do wonders to slice up and make better use of the engine’s outputs. Passengers, including the driver, will be happy to see there is finally a touch-screen interface inside, replacing the dated and clunky system previously used. Fortunately, the rest of the interior remains tough and durable, and relatively simplistic, which will keep the traditionalists happy. Overall, these updated models are a comprehensive step forward without ruining the go-anywhere attitude that Isuzu is best known for. Traditional buyers will be happy, while others in the market, including rival ute buyers, will probably start checking out what’s new over the fence.
